### **Freeze Single Session**
The Freeze Single Session feature empowers Event Planners to freeze individual sessions within their event schedule. Once a session is frozen, attendees cannot join or leave the session. 
Session Freeze Functionality :
- Freeze Individual Sessions: Admins can freeze sessions individually, allowing precise control over session availability.
- Restrict Attendee Movement: Once a session is frozen, non-admin attendees cannot join or leave the session.
- Bulk Freeze: Sessions can be frozen in bulk, streamlining the process for more significant events with multiple sessions.
- Popup Notification: Attendees will receive a new popup notification for pinned and frozen sessions, keeping them informed about session status changes.
If the session is pinned, attendees will see this message. 
If the session is frozen, attendees will see this message.
**How to freeze a single session:**
1. Go to your event’s **Control Panel.**
2. Click Schedule, then go to the Sessions section. Click the session you’d like to freeze
3. On the **Edit** tab, scroll to the bottom and toggle ON the **Freeze session**
4. Click on the **Publish** button.
**Freeze/unfreeze sessions in bulk:**
- Select multiple sessions that you’d like to freeze or unfreeze.
**How to add an Attendee to a frozen session:**
- Even when sessions are frozen, event planners can still manage to enroll attendees in those sessions.
**Note:** Sessions cannot be pinned and frozen simultaneously. Ensure you prioritize pinning or freezing sessions based on your event requirements.
